A woman was arrested and a man has a warrant out for his arrest after the couple was identified attacking a man this week, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
A man walking down the street was jumped by two men in a car Sunday, according to a report.
A man was in the 500 block of 43rd Street Boulevard West in Palmetto when a woman, 18-year-old Rebecca Parkinson, drove up next to him and began talking to him. She told the other two men in the car to "beat him up and take what you can."
The two attackers got out of the car and began beating him. They took his cigarettes and $10 in cash at about 10:30 p.m.
They then got back in the car and fled.
The man sustained a bump on the back of his head, had two small cuts on his right elbow and small abrasion on his left shoulder blade.
The man was able to identify Parkinson from a drivers license photo. He was also able to identify Richard Roberto, Parkinson's boyfriend, who allegedly participated in the attack.
Parkinson was arrested Friday and Roberto is still at large with a warrant for strong armed robbery. The other man in the attack has yet to be identified.
Parkinson posted a $15,000 bond Saturday on a robbery charge.
Anyone with any information can contact the sheriff's office at 747-3011 or Crimestoppers at (866) 634-TIPS.
